Greetings:
I just compiled and installed X11r4 on this 8810 running ultrix 3.1,
and even though the log files from the make World and make install look
clean, I can't seem to make anything work right.
I am trying to use my DECstation 3100 as a server.
Most of the clients I try to run give the error that xclock does in the
script below. The clock's boundry even draws up on the server before it
exits, making me think that whatever I've done wrong is just a *little bit*
wrong :-).
xterm sez ``not a typewriter'', which I've seen before when
a client was compiled for the wrong platform, but the Makefile generated
by the Imake seems to have used ultrix.cf throughout...
I've tried to trace down something that would help me interpret the XIO
error, no luck...
Any ideas?

Did you use GCC as your compiler? Did you run fixincludes beore starting the build? -- Matt Thomas Internet: thomas@wrl.dec.com DECnet-ULTRIX Development UUCP: ...!decwrl!thomas Digital Equipment Corporation Disclaimer: This message reflects my own Littleton, MA warped views, etc.

Among the probably many different X installation combinations that would have worked, the one that I stumbled on that DID work for me on my 3.1 ultrix VAX is: * use the generic C compiler and set ``InstallOldHeaderFiles'' in site.def to YES I expect that the ``fixincludes'' script would have fixed my problems had I continued using the GNU compiler, but since the documentation indicated that the GNU compiler is mainly a big win for the *servers* and I'm not using them... Thanks for everyone's help! -Mike
